That is the point, on schedule isnt an option. Just because of the scan started and the file is copyd. The backup user doesnt have to right to remove / overwrite something. So on a file change, wait 10 minuts (a scan takes approxemently 9 minuts) and then backup to the server. its not permitted that we have data los. :)

Google Mercachem and you know what our core work is. Viagra is on our list ;)

So, if I understand this correctly, the scan you mention is that chemical bottle data scan, not the one from Spiceworks?

And that scan does create a file somewhere on the local PC, taking some 9minutes to complete.

You didn't answer the OS question, so I'll just assume Windows ;-)

1)Why not just configure the scanner so, that it immediately scans to the network? Eventually using a mapped drive?

2)As an alternative, you may still used scheduled tasks, just set them to repeat with a small delay, like 5min if that does fit your objectif.

3)Yet another one would be robocopy, using one of the switches to keep it running, like /MON or /MOT so that it just keeps monitoring the folder for changes and does kick in as some defined threshold is changed. You could still launch it using scheduled tasks and as a predetermined user which got the rights to read/write to that folder...
